Be bowed deeply and courteously towards the audience after she finished saying that.


    The hall slowly quietened.


    “Secondly, I’d like to exin. I donated this piece of Alexa’s work called ‘God’s Tear’.” Be pursed her


    lips slightly.


    Everyone was taken aback by this, and they all turned in unison to look at Ada Wang.


    Ada Wang waspletely bewildered. Everyone surrounding her was looking at her, but she could


    only turn her stunned gaze to Bethany Salvador.


    In turn, Bethany turned to look in Zoe Hoffman’s direction, only to find her seat was empty!


    Zoe had a bad feeling earlier, so she took advantage of the chaos and left the scene.


    Be watched this ridiculous cycle coldly from her position on stage. and her red lips could not help but


    curl up. “Ms. Ada, I did not know you were donating this ne tonight, so this is all truly a


    coincidence. Please do not misunderstand.”


    “Ms. Thompson, why do you also have the ‘God’s Tear”?” Ada Wang’ confidence had been instantly


    extinguished as she asked with a sti expression.


    Be restrained her smile, and she frowned slightly. “Ms. Ada, the re issue right now isn’t why I have


    this ne, but rather the fact that your ne is fake.”


    Everyone was deeply shocked by this statement.


    Shannon managed to keep her calm, but Bethany was pale from the fear that had risen due to Be’s


    words.


    “But that ne was given to me by Bethany Salvador, the daughter of Salvador Corporation’s


    chairman… How could it be fake?!” Ada


    Wang was still having trouble epting this fact.


    If that ne was fake, the way she had just made a big show of donating it like it was a genuine


    article made her look dumb, did it not?!


    “Ms. Thompson! On what basis do you say that the ne my daughter gave Ms. Ada is a fake? You


    should say that only after getting someone to appraise it! Otherwise, aren’t you just ndering us?!”


    Shannon felt that there would be huge trouble if things went on like this, so she hurriedly stepped up to


    say so sternly as a means of preempting whatever the others might say or do next. That way, she could


    contain the suspicion against them temporarily before saying anything more.


    “The fact that I dared to say your ne is a fake means that I have a way of proving it. I am by no


    means being defensive.” Be was calm, and her tone was unhurried.


    A mischievous gleam subconsciously shed through her beautiful eyes.


    Justin sat straight, his gaze glued to Be’s face as he smiled.


    Whenever she smiled in that cunning and fox-like manner in the past, it meant she was up to


    something.


    That expression used to infuriate him, but at the moment, he found it more adorable and pleasing the


    more he looked at it.


    “Ms. Thompson! You im that Ms. Salvador’s ne is fake, but do you have evidence?”


    “Ms. Ada is an expert collector of jewelry. How could she not be able to tell if it was fake?”


    Exactly, Ms. Thompson! You have to take responsibility for making unfounded ims! The two


    nes look exactly the same. You should get an expert to appraise it before drawing conclusions!”


    Be faced the audience’s criticisms with an impassive expression.


    Suddenly, the halls’rge, heavy doors were pushed open.


    Everyone reflexively turned to look.


    A blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty on tall stilettos entered everyone’s astonished field of vision.


    Justin also could not help but look back. Instantly, his eyes widened.


    Surprisingly, it was Sliva, Alexa’s assistant.


    Why had Sliva appeared right at this moment?


    “It’s Ms. Sliva! She’s the manager of Alexa’s studio!” Someone in the audience recognized her and


    could not help but exim.


    “Sliva actually came here?! She’s Alexa’s right-hand woman! Could there be anyone more suitable to


    appraise Alexa’s jewelry than she is?!”


    In full view of everyone, Sliva walked straight toward Be without looking elsewhere.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Be smiled softly at her and walked off the stage, relieved.


    “You’re here.”


    The familiar and natural way she greeted Sliva surprised the onlookers.


    Sliva stopped in front of Be and took her hand, kissing the back of it lightly. This was a gesture of


    admiration and utmost respect in Inalia.


    “I’m sorry for beingte, Ms. Alexa.”
